Press the multi selector

K to activate the

shutter speed setting.

The active setting switches between shutter speed and

At speeds slower than 1/4 second, the shutter speed

indicator turns red (

Rotate the command dial to choose
the shutter speed value between

When adjusting aperture or shutter speed,

the degree of deviation from the exposure
value measured by the camera is displayed
for a few seconds in the exposure display.

The degree of deviation in the exposure

increments of 1/3 EV).
A display similar to that illustrated at right
indicates that the picture will be overexposed
by 1 EV (+1).
